Bright and warm, with a sprinkle of drizzle.
The micromoth Ancylis badiana has just appeared. The second shot - on a Creeping Buttercup leaf - gives some idea of scale.
The first leaves of Beech are very attractive: delicate and translucent and fringed with fine hairs.
Female flowers - with ripening seeds - of the Grey Willow. With raindrops!
At last a decent shot of Anthocorus nemorum - a Flower Bug.
The Willow Leaf Beetle - Plagiodera versicolora - wastes no time in getting to grips with new leaves. The damage is already evident.
A side-shot of the micromoth Grapholita jungiella.
I've observed this fuzzy growth on Beech for ages. It's a liverwort: Metzgeria fruticulosa.
